Radio listeners are now hearing interviews with faculty and staff members of the Univer­ sity each week. "Talking Points," a weekly series of taped interviews now is used by nearly 60 radio stations in Ontario, as well as CBC Northern Service and CKO, an all news radio network.

The "Talking Points" service was initiated in the spring of 1981 by Information Services following a canvass of radio stations in the province. Nearly half of Ontario's radio program directors have responded enthusiastically to the service. A Toronto news director says: "The University of Guus Hazelaar, left, interviews Political Studies professor, Henry Wiseman, background.

New rules in an upside down world

Institutions, such as the church and family, which have always provided a solid base for people's lives, are undergoing tumultuous changes that affect us all. Almost one in three marriages ends in divorce, and homosexuality and the role of women are being re-examined.

As part of Guelph's Summer Campus program, Prof. Luker will be leading a one-week, non-degree course, "New Rules — A World Turned Upside Down" beginning July 12. The Reverend Lance Woods, a United Church clergyman, will work in tandem with Prof. Luker to complement the psy­ chologist's approach and play "devil's advocate." The other first-time recipients of the Marriage, work, sex, leisure and morality are some of Edward Johnson Founda tion: Guelph the subjects to be discussed.
